Frank Rich on George Rekers and the Culture Wars

In this column Rich lays out how influential Rekars has been in the anti-gay crusade and how that is currently playing out in the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan.

I find it in me to be sorry that something has so terribly twisted up the psyches of people like Rekars and Ted Haggard, and argue they are a very good reason to end discrimination against gays if this is the kind of damage it does, but I despise what they have done to increase discrimination.
